Have you tried Kubuntu? Neon is latest KDE on top of Ubuntu LTS. I don't think desktop influences audio. On 2026-02-10 20:40, Ron via Talk wrote:
I made the switch recently, and have some things to report.
It's noticeably faster - a pleasant surprise.
Screen sharing via Nextcloud works, expecting Jitsi et al to work too.
Audio issues resolved:
I use OS-level microphone muting instead of app muting (Jitsi, Nextcloud, etc).
No longer are the hot-keys and mouse actions on widgets out of sync, leaving me unsure if I'm muted or not. Works 100% of the time.
The audio quality *seems* distinctly better in Nextcloud meetings.
Finally, an extremely odd issue where WebRTC sounded terrible with crackling and popping sounds *only when 3rd monitor* enabled is *gone*.
That took months to realize the sound was fixed when I disabled that monitor - now I don't have to do that. (YouTube audio was never an issue, just WebRTC.)
I'm running KDEneon FWIW.
